LEON, N.Y. – Police cracking down on rowdy Amish youths ticketed a teenager for having beer in his horse-drawn buggy when they pulled him over on a western New York road. They said the 17-year-old was charged with underage possession of alcohol after he was stopped by deputies late Monday night in the town of Leon, 40 miles south of Buffalo.
Detective Nathan Root said the teen admitted drinking beer, but passed a field sobriety test.

A documentary, you say! Well, like the ancient Greek philosophers used to say, there is nothing more truthful than a impartial man with an idea and a camera who is pursuing a commercial venture.
The real problem is it would seem you base your perception of the Amish on a fictional creation...and even seem to think you know enough to pass judgment. I bet you’re an expert on Hitler and the Universe, as well...and can name a dozen ‘modern marvels.’
No wonder this country is in so much trouble. At least half the country must believe in 25 foot sharks than can chase a person from continent to continent...

I grew up near an Amish community. Those kids can throw down and party just like the rest of us. We had some wild drunken buggy rides!

As I understand it, there's a period of time in an Amish yoot's life called Rumspringen, in which the yoot can live it up like any other American yoot. After this period is over, the yoot can choose to rejoin Amish society or continue living a more decadent lifestyle.

Whenever in a buggy or in a bar...
when I'm forced to look at a horse's ass, I drink beer! The cotton candy kills the smell of horse manure--
